With Tomkins going, I am not sure the SKD signing makes sense. We are quite well off in the backs already and with supposedly another 2/3 coming in, surely that quota spot could be used on either a top class half back or another big man in the middle of the park? I don't see much in the UK for either of these and as delightfully pointed out, the idea of matty smith/kevin brown as a 1st choice half back fills me with dread
Kevin Brown is Salford bound, matty smith is a potential, on loan to Wire from Catalans and with Maloney going to Wire, unlikely to feature much. Myler rumoured, not been great for Leeds, but out of favour if Gale is coming in with Lui.
Good cover at outside backs, Minikin in for Shaw on the Wing, Linnett as a running second rower I think would add value and threat, rather than just a yardage 2nd rower, he can do both and play decent minutes.
Obviously halfs are needed, plus another solid prop or second rower should be top priority, maybe one of each, that will lay a good platform.
